A lot of us here online are available and single.
What are some of the things that you require or desire from the person whom you're dating or looking to date?

I think we should all remember not to settle. Don't cross things off of your list because you are "Ready" for something, anything or "Tired" of being alone or not accepted. You're only hurting yourself in the long run. Being in this situation we can easily settle for who wants us and who we can have or the "slim selection" of thise abailable to us instead of who we want which could force us to put up with things that we wouldnt if the situation were different. There are people that are going to accept you for YOU and everything you come with as you will them. DON'T BE DESPERATE for love, sex, or anything in life. It will come. There are people out there for us all.

I look for a man with integrity and believes in God. Non violent towards women. Kind to children and animals. Must be comfortable within his skin and isn't threatened by an outspoken woman. Must have good teeth, no earrings nor long hair. A non smoker or drug addict. Can't have children under 13 years old and no more than 6 children. Must be single not separated because you're still married! If these requirements are too much then move on because the God I serve said I can have my heart's desire. So I'm not settling not taking any shorts! I Am Worth it 👑❤️🙏

I need open and honest communication, someone not afraid to be emotionally vulnerable, present, not talking each other for granted.

My long distance boy friend has a terminal diagnosis. Every every, every word matters. We share a love for football and 90s punk rock so having multiple things in common help.

One of his best friends is my favorite ex boyfriend, so we had to utilize verbal communication to set up boundaries about him to save our relationship in the beginning. I’m sure many guys would have ended our new relationship there.

He’s HIV negative and my first new relationship since being diagnosed in 2010. I chose to be single almost four years after leaving my husband who I was with when I was diagnosed. He’s negative so is our son, he was afraid of me as soon as he learned he was negative he jokingly called me the grim reaper. I needed someone okay with my status from the beginning, someone who would not be afraid to touch me or have me touch them back.
